Biography
Sigismund of Burgundy was born in 480 AD, the son of King Gundobad of Burgundy. He succeeded his father as king in 516, and he was converted to Christianity from Arianism. The late Chilperic II of Burgundy's daughter Clotilde sought revenge against Sigismund due to his father's assassination of Chilperic in 493 AD, and in 523 she incited her sons against Sigismund. Clovis I of Francia's four sons invaded Burgundy, and King Chlodomer of Aurelianum (Orleans) captured and beheaded him after defeating him in battle. His brother succeeded him as King Godomar of Burgundy on his death, and Godomar would slay Chlodomer at Vezeronce on 25 June 524.
